Ortofon Concorde Mix MKII Twin DJ Cartridge
The Ortofon Concorde MKII Twin Mix delivers a matched pair of DJ cartridges built for turntablists who mix, scratch, and back-cue across genres. Each cartridge pairs a spherical diamond stylus with an aluminium cantilever for transparent sound and dependable tracking on any DJ turntable with a removable headshell. The twin pack arrives in a rugged flight case, ready to outfit a backup deck or a two-turntable rig.
- Two pre-installed Concorde MKII MIX cartridges in one flight case
- Spherical diamond stylus with R 18 μm tip radius for clean groove contact
- Aluminium cantilever engineered for consistent tracking at 3 g
- Mounts via Bayonet/SME connector, fitting virtually every standard DJ headshell
Matched Pair of DJ Cartridges for Turntablists
The Ortofon Concorde MKII Twin Mix bundles two Concorde MKII MIX cartridges in a single rugged flight case, giving DJs an instant spare or a ready-to-go two-deck setup. Built as a general-purpose model for scratch and back-cueing, this set delivers transparent sound across the spectrum and excellent handling ability. The twin pack is the right choice for turntablists who need reliable tracking and balanced output.
Why the Twin Pack Stands Out
Most DJ cartridges ship singly, but this twin configuration delivers two pre-installed cartridges in a protective flight case — ideal for mobile DJs and scratch crews. The spherical diamond stylus rides the groove with a forgiving contact patch, while the aluminium cantilever keeps mass low for responsive tracking.
Stylus Geometry and Tracking
Spherical diamond profiles tolerate higher tracking forces better than finer elliptical tips.
- Stylus Type: Spherical diamond — durable tip that resists wear under heavy back-cueing
- Stylus Tip Radius: R 18 μm — standard DJ contact patch for stable groove tracking
- Tracking force at 3 g with a usable 2–4 g range, the sweet spot for most DJ tonearms
Electrical Output and Signal
Output voltage and channel separation determine how cleanly the cartridge talks to a DJ mixer's phono preamp.
- Output Voltage (1 kHz, 5 cm/sec): 6 mV — strong enough for typical phono inputs
- Channel Separation at 1 kHz: 20 dB — keeps left/right imaging clean during stereo mixing
- Pairs directly with standard DJ mixer phono stages rated at 47 kOhm
Mechanical Specs and Mounting
Cartridge weight and compliance affect how the stylus sits in the groove and how the tonearm reacts to record warp.
- Cartridge Weight: 18.5 g — light enough for typical DJ headshells without rebalancing
- Dynamic Lateral Compliance: 14 μm/m N — medium compliance that suits most DJ tonearms
- Mounts via Bayonet / SME connector, fitting virtually every standard removable headshell
